You need to install pidof. In debian distros it’s in the
sysvutils package

Besides, which pandora are you using? Where did you get it from?

Thanks Manu,
I tried searching for ‘pidof’. I finally found a link and got the pidof source code:

[#!/bin/sh
ps axc|awk "{if ($5=="$1") print $1}"|tr 'n' ' ' 
echo
/code]

But I still find that the pandora_server start command is not working. I get this output now:

[/bash-3.00# /etc/init.d/pandora_server start

I downloaded the Pandora from: https://pandora.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pandora/trunk. I assume it is the 2.0 beta version. I am following the instructions for installing the 1.3 server as written in: http://openideas.info/wiki/index.php?title=Pandora_1.3:Server:QIG

Please help.

Did you install the console from the trunk as well?

I have not installed the console yet. Is that part of the problem?

Yes, you should install it first cause you’ll get the database installed along.

If you don’t want to install the console but the database only

You might want to do:

mysql -u root -p (if you have a password)

mysql> create database pandora;
mysql> create user pandora;
mysql> grant all on pandora.* to ‘pandora’@’localhost’ identified by ‘pandora’;
mysql> exit

cat pandoradb.sql | mysql -u pandora -ppandora -D pandora
cat pandoradb_data.sql | mysql -u pandora -ppandora -D pandora

(The pandoradb.sql can be found in the trunk/pandora_console)

Now, make sure your dbuser is pandora and dbpass is pandora (you can change this in the future) in the pandora_server.conf

Now, start your pandora_server again

I have updated both pages, to make the process clearer, I think.

If any one have ideas to improve it, please contribute 😀
